| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-10-16 | CVE-2015-8952 | Data Processing Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel The mbcache feature in the ext2 and ext4 filesystem implementations in the Linux kernel before 4.6 mishandles xattr block caching, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) via filesystem operations in environments that use many attributes, as demonstrated by Ceph and Samba. | 5.5 |
| 2016-10-10 | CVE-2015-8956 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in multiple products The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket. | 6.1 |
| 2016-10-10 | CVE-2015-8950 | Information Exposure vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.3, as used in the ION subsystem in Android and other products, does not initialize certain data structures, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by triggering a dma_mmap call. | 5.5 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-6480 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability. | 5.1 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-6198 | Improper Access Control vulnerability in multiple products The filesystem layer in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 proceeds with post-rename operations after an OverlayFS file is renamed to a self-hardlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call, related to fs/namei.c and fs/open.c. | 5.5 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-6197 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products fs/overlayfs/dir.c in the OverlayFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.6 does not properly verify the upper dentry before proceeding with unlink and rename system-call processing, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a rename system call that specifies a self-hardlink. | 5.5 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-6156 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the ec_device_ioctl_xcmd function in drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) by changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability. | 5.1 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-6136 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel Race condition in the audit_log_single_execve_arg function in kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to bypass intended character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call auditing by changing a certain string, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability. | 4.7 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-5696 | Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 does not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack. | 4.8 |
| 2016-08-06 | CVE-2016-5412 | Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Linux Kernel arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S in the Linux kernel through 4.7 on PowerPC platforms, when CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV is enabled, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS infinite loop) by making a H_CEDE hypercall during the existence of a suspended transaction. | 6.5 |
